Natsu and his friends discover that a power gap has developed between them and the rest of the guild members who were not on Tenrou Island. The group meets with Poluchka for medicine to strengthen their magic, but are unsuccessful. Wendy recognizes Poluchka's voice and scent as those of Grandine, the dragon who raised her. Poluchka reveals herself as the Edolas counterpart of Grandine, and gives Wendy written instructions for two advanced spells that Grandine failed to teach her. Meanwhile, Makarov announces Gildarts' succession as master to the rest of the guild, only to find he has gone on a journey, leaving a letter of resignation behind. In the letter, Gildarts reinstates Laxus into the guild, returns mastership to Makarov, and tells him to make Fairy Tail the strongest guild in Fiore again. Romeo suggests they participate in the Grand Magic Games, an annual festival designed to determine the guild rankings in Fiore.
